we will call the senate committee on agriculture and nutrition to order. e'rwere here today, of course o market our committee bill for the 2013 farm bill, the agriculture reform food and jobs act. last year in the middle of a hard-fought election year in the swirling partisan battles on capitol hill are, capitol hill, we in the senate agriculture, nutrition and forestry committee came together. we sat around this table. we worked together in a bipartisan way to craft a new kind of farm bill. one with major reforms, deficit reductions and a commitment to the diversity of american agriculture. even more important, our work last year reflected our commitment to the 16 million men and women in this country whose livelihood depend on agriculture and not who we depend for ourt r food. and noo food the end of a long days work gather with their families our roundtables very much like this one. in the wake of the worst drought in decades, a drought that persist in many parts of our country, the talk at those tables is increasingly about worries to the future. we saw

president, our bill, the agriculture reform food and jobs act, is critical to the 16 million americans whose jobs rely on a strong agricultural economy. agriculture has been one of the bright spots as our economy is getting back on track. in fact, it is one of the few areas where we actually have a trade surplus where we're exporting more than we're importing, and this means jobs for us in america. the farm bill really is a jobs bill. it's a jobs bill. it's a trade bill. it's a reform bill. it's a conservation bill. and it's a kitchen table bill because thanks to the farm bill, families all across america will sit down around a table tonight and enjoy the bounty of the world's safest, most abundant and most affordable food supply in the world. and those who need temporary help to feed their families during an economic crisis will get help as well because this is a bill that reflects our best values as americans. it's easy to take agriculture for granted. it's easy for many of us to forget that the food we eat doesn't just come from the supermarket, like i think some folks think. the fo

national security -- >> and eamon javers, if there were any food safety concerns, that would be the agriculture department's area, wouldn't it be? and they don't have the ability to block this deal. >> that's right, it would be the fda, and i talked to the fda a little while ago, and they say they don't even have any process whereby they could step in and block any kind of corporate acquisition as one company to another. they don't even view it as their place to even comment on this deal. the fda is focused entirely on the regulation after the fact. so you imagine they'll be doing that in this case. but there's no process by which they could object, you know, up-front. >> peter, can i ask -- let me ask you this. i was going to make this point. if for some reason this deal were prohibited by the u.s. arm of the u.s. government, do you know what would happen to all of the takeover premiums in the united states. it would go away. you want to deny shareholders in america all that money? >> michelle, this deal is going through. i mean, there's no national security implications. but let me just say t

it's not the right policy if for government agricultural. eing at the meeting in nebraska where a farmer said, mike, we don't need payment anymore. we can use higher target prices. i don't remember them saying to me we need a shallow loss progm. farmers just basically said the basic crop insurance program that we have is workinging to do everything you can to sustain that program. having said those things, there are some things in the bill that we can't ignore that i would rate on the positive side. it does have the tie us a g.i. in payment limit of any farm bill i'm aware of. it make sure that farmers are actively engaged in the farming operation. further more, this farm bill preserves end -- i would say does a good job with the basic crop insurance program. i appreciate that those reforms are not always popular and some regions of the country. i certainly never know that having proposed some reforms in those payment limit areas when i was secretary. i lawed for you includg those. i especially pleased with the effort to stream line and simpl

that it addresses the needs of u.s. agriculture, which is what the policy coming out of this body should address. while i understand there are different ideas about what safety net is best, i urge my colleagues to recognize that one program doesn't work for all crops. the bill before us attempts to provide producers with options to find what works best for them and that is a step in the right direction. a new program known as the adverse market protection, seeks to serve the needs of those who are not protected by the agriculture risk coverage and crop insurance programs. it is imperative that the farm safety net provide protection for multiyear declines, especially for southern crops like rice and peanuts. since the protection provided by arc in crop insurance is not sufficient. and the upland cotton policies contained in the chairwoman's mark represent fundamental reform in the support provided to cotton farmers, reforms that contribute $2.8 billion towards savings in the budget target. the legislation eliminates or changes all t

farmers don't always get the price they want and farmers recognize that's the part of agriculture. if we keep telling farmers to plan for prices higher than the market or cover the cost of production even, they will simply respond to that and the end result is you have planting that is too much and lower prices. that drives prices down continuing the cycle of low prices in government payments. it's just not the right policy for agriculture. i don't recall ever being at a meeting in nebraska where a farmer said to me, mike, we don't need direct payments anymore, but we could really use higher target prices. i don't even remember them saying to me we need a shallow lots program. farmers just basically said the basic crop insurance program we have is working, try to do everything you can to sustain that program. having said those things, there are some things in the bill that we can't ignore that i would rate on the positive side. it does have the agi and payment limits of any farm bill that i'm aware of. it also makes sure that farmers are actively engaged in the farming operation. fu

the u.s. department of agriculture. who it would help would be the family who planted a crop that was legal to plant. now, my mom and dad were dairy farmers. the one thing i do know about the farming cycle is once you made a decision to plant a crop, it office usually too late to -- plant a crop, it's usually too late to plant another one. and there are times when it is absolutely too late to plant another crop. what does your family do that year when the crop that the government told you you could plant, some federal judge decides you can't plant it, only to have maybe another -- and there are cases where this have happened -- other judges later said the first federal judge was wrong and those crops were legal to be planted, legal to be harvested. both challenges, by the way, were about what environmental impact this might have if something happened to one property or another. never a question in those two cases about the safety of the food. but this provision, mr. president, allows the secretary of agriculture to creat

the farm bill is a job creator and it helps our economy. agriculture supports 16 million jobs in the united states and contributes billions of dollars to the national economy. year in and year out, we sell more food and fiber than we buy from abroad. further, american agriculture produces a financial surplus. through relentless innovation, best practices and good stewardship of the land, american agriculture creates a positive balance of trade. the farm bill saves money to help reduce the deficit and the debt. think how important that is. the 2013 farm bill, like the farm bill we passed last year, provides more than $24 billion in savings, more than what is required by sequestration, to help address the nation's defer sit and debt. -- nation's deficit and debt. our farmers and ranchers are stepping up and doing their part. the farm bill also provides a strong market-based safety net for producers. the safety net in the 2013 farm bill focuses on enhanced crop insurance which is what farmers and ranchers have asked for, enhanced crop insurance. that's th
